One more NC State basketball scheduling nugget this morning, courtesy CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein: St. Peter’s is a part of the Wolfpack’s non-conference home slate. The Peacocks finished last season at 14-18 overall and finished ninth in the MAAC with a 6-12 league record.
The rest of the non-conference schedule is likely nothing but buy games like this one, given that the Pack already has Auburn, Wisconsin, Vanderbilt, and Penn State on the schedule. That’s plenty of heft right there.
Still, St. Peter’s does represent an improvement in the quality of the lower mid-majors on the schedule.
